Abstract
A tool for removing a cap from a medical injection device comprising a body and a needle extending distally from the body, the cap covering the needle, the tool being characterized in that it comprises a pair of opposite jaws connected by an elastic interface, each jaw comprising: a distal portion forming a distal clamp configured to surround at least a part of the cap; and a proximal portion forming a proximal clamp configured to be removably axially fixed to a body of the medical injection device, the elastic interface forming a fulcrum located between the distal and proximal portions such that a pinching force exerted radially inwardly onto the distal portion of the jaws causes the proximal portion of the jaws to expand radially outwardly.
